Currently, both I and GrumBal were getting our forces ready for the assault on the orc encampment, GrumBal was gathering all the remaining warriors from his tribe, it seems when I started a rebellion my little ones killed quite a few of their warriors it also took few days before some of them healed.
While GrumBal was gathering his warriors I turned around and sighed, the reason why I did was because all the spiders are behind me and they don't move an inch unless I tell them to, but well I guess they are loyal to me that's a good thing right?
I really didn't notice before but now that I take a closer look I can see other coloured spiders mixed with the brown rock spiders there are green, red and blue spiders.
I walked over to the giant rock spider the one I encountered first he is bigger then the other rock spiders I guess he is their leader.
I pat him on the head and he started purring "little one does the colour of your body mean something?" I asked him.
"yes yes green poison queen enemies, red burn queen enemies, blue heal queen and us protect queen" well I didn't expect that they really love me huh somehow I feel happy, but it's good to know so different colour spiders have different abilities green have poison inside them from the answer red spiders can use magic and fire magic at that good and the blue ones can also use magic to heal now you would think that the blue spiders are weak because of their ability but it's the opposite when we moved towards the chiefs house I saw a blue spider breaking the sword from one of the goblins with its jaws they are not weak oh I forgot the brown spiders it seems they are something like shields they can take the blow instead of the others not surprised looking at those armour like bodies they are the only ones that have bodies like that.
"oh seems GrumBal has returned" I turned my head around and saw GrumBal headed my way and behind him the remaining warriors of the Dead Rock tribe.
GrumBal arrived before me "this is all that is left forty warriors including me"
"hmm I have around thirty spiders how much orcs are there in the encampment?"
GrumBal was silent for a few minutes then he spoke "there are roughly around hundred and sixty orcs and their spiders about eighty"
"well those are not bad numbers hehe" I smiled at GrumBal who looked confused, well I don't blame him even combined we don't have enough troops to beat the orcs but it seems he forgot who I am.
"Don't look so surprised GrumBal don't you remember who I am?" I smiled and asked GrumBal whose face brightened up.
"The queen of spiders!" he spoke loudly.
"Indeed now GrumBal lead the way"
"Gladly" we are now ready to march on the orcs.
It has been few hours since we left the goblin village on our way to the orc encampment we encountered the orc lookouts of course we dealt with them swiftly and quietly either me or the poison green spiders would kill them without a sound so we wouldn't alert the other lookouts by the way seems the poison the green spiders use is almost as deadly as mine it takes a little longer to take effect but still effective oh and they can spit it wonder if I can do that hmm.
I noticed GrumBal looking in my direction with a puzzled expression on his face "Uhm GrumBal can you tell me about the leader of these orcs?" lets forget about the spitting thing.
"Yes I can, the leader of the orcs is called Khargol, he is dangerous a mighty warrior from the orc kingdom Ortas" GrumBal spoke with a grim face it seems this Khargol fellow is going to be a pain in the ass.
"huh? wait did you say orc kingdom when did this happen!?" If I remember correctly orcs lived in tribes as well but now a kingdom?
"I don't know when I just know that the scattered orc tribes united and made a kingdom, at least that's what I heard"
"how much time has passed?" I mumbled to myself.
"huh?"
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"oh nothing continue"
"okay as I was saying Khargol is from the orc kingdom but he was exiled because he didn't like the idea of making peace with the human kingdoms so he got exiled him and his personal guard, and now they plague this forest since they came everything started going the wrong way" GrumBal clenched his fists in anger.
"I see thank you for the information and don't worry he will pay the price with his life today"
GrumBal looked at me and smiled "Indeed, lets us continue we are close to their encampment"
I only nodded and we continued on our way.
Half an hour later we reached the orc encampment we approached silently so we wouldn't get detected by them, the first thing I did was look at their encampment in simple words it looked sturdy, they placed a wooden stockade to block the enemy and there was only one entrance and two guards outside.
"So this is an orc" I looked at the guards outside the gate they had good plate armours with spikes on them and helmets with horns in their arms they carried spears, they had green skin like the goblins but they were much taller and more bulky in other words more muscles, they have sharp teeth.
"Now where are they keeping my little ones" I looked for the spiders and just as I suspected they are keeping them chained near the tents they lived in, the tent that had a spider near must be the tent a rider lives in.
"good this will do" I turned towards GrumBal "GrumBal I shall speak with the spiders in the orc camp and tell them to attack the orcs when they start we shall rush in and kill every orc we see, oh and leave Khargol to me"
"as you say" GrumBal nodded and gripped his staff hard.

Kael's POV
Recently there have been orc attacks on the merchant caravans near the Deadwood forest, the nobles didn't care about the attacks but a few days ago a carriage belonging to one of the nobleman was attacked and his oldest daughter was kidnapped the nobles never change when common people are in danger or even killed they do nothing but when their bloodline is in danger its a totally different story.
The noble asked my father the king to send soldiers to rescue his daughter which my father agreed to, the one to lead this rescue party was my second older brother Arnot and with some convincing father also allowed me to come along.
We took three hundred knights with us to subjugate these orcs.
"ahh! we have been riding for three days now when will we arrive!" The one complaining was Arnot he has blonde hair like me except it is shorter than mine, his face is pretty handsome, me and Arnet take after our mother who sadly passed away when I was still an Infant, Arnet and me have the same mother but the oldest brother Alain is not he is a child from father's first marriage.
"Do not worry my prince we shall arrive shortly at the forest entrance" One of the soldiers riding beside us spoke.
"good I can't take the heat In this armour" Arnot wore a silver armour with a helmet in his hand, despite his look like a knight to be honest he is useless he doesn't know how to fight he was never interested, he only came here because of father's orders.
"sigh" I can't help but be jealous of both my brothers they were born with healthy bodies and could learn sword fighting easily but me with a weak body couldn't but I still found myself in military affairs by learning military tactics from books even if I couldn't fight I could still lead if needed.
We will soon be at the entrance of the Deadwood forest but why do I have a feeling like something is going to happen today.
